Do they really output as much clear RMS watts as they claim? There's one on e-bay for less than &1000 that claims to output 3,000W x 1 @ 2 Ohm RMS. That's too much power.

I don't know from personal experience, but from what I've heard they are rated correctly. That amp retails for over $3000.

remember tubes are a completely different animal when it comes to amps, i really wish the car audio industry had made them a standard, when it comes to clarity tubes are cleaner than sh*t Vacuum Tube Amps -- posted image.

The reason why tubes arent the standard is because they are far more touchy. You have to let tubes warm up and they are also not as durable as a solid state amp which is why they arent as Ideal for car audio. But tubes amps are definatly what you want if you want the ultimate for sound quality.

double-secret reverse-osmosis speaker-cone-induced high-level interference distortion, Its a killer
